I just want to share an incident happen to my app. The app I developed call “MTGBugs” was taken down in Google Play store on 22/10/2016 after some parties aren't happy with the app name and submitted a take down notice.
MTGBugs is an app designed for MTG players and I have ported it from Windows Phone platform (it is call MTGBugs NEXT for Windows Phone 7.5+, while the new one for Windows Phone 8.1+ is call MTGBugs). It is designed to help player keep up-to-dated on MTG news and card lookup. It came with some unique features like aggregate all MTG news with notification (great during spoiler season), syntax search (for power user), support pricing from TCGPlayers.com and MagicCardMarket.eu, etc. It is on Google Play store for less than 3 months, but the old version on Windows Phone is available since 2012.
After long and exhausted email between me and Google support team, I was forced to rebrand my whole app to avoid any further problem. Here are the full story!
I hope others especially developers who are passionated and spend their time building great tools for this game can learn and don't repeat the same painful and costly experience I have gone through.
